The mage arrives

Whatever suspicious tactics Northengard had resorted to, it was meaningless now.Because established facts have been created, Northengard begins to invade Antoria, and war breaks out.However, Ferreton has not yet done anything about this war that shocked the entire Northern Continent.

However, even Ferreton farmers who know nothing about military and political affairs and deal with livestock and crops all day long know such an obvious fact: if those evil heretics who believe in the five-color dragon queen successfully conquer Antoria , after he has no worries about the future, he will definitely attack Freyton again.It's not a question of "yes or no", it's a question of "sooner or later".

In Northengard, such a view has long been held.That is the reason why they were unable to complete the set military goals in the previous wars with Freyton. In the final analysis, it was because Antoria, who was so powerful and had a completely different position from the Black Dragon Empire, was separated by a sea. The opposite state exists.Therefore, every time the Black Dragon Empire used troops against Freyton, the Black Dragon Empire had to deploy a considerable part of its troops on the western coast of the border to defend against the threat of Antoria.Such an arrangement often led to Northengard's lack of troops on the frontal battlefield with Freyton, and eventually failed.

"If you want to conquer Freyton first, you must first solve Antoria." Such a strategic policy has gradually become a consensus among the nobles of Northengard.

The people of Freyton also understand this truth, so they have maintained a good relationship with Antoria for a long time, and they have never been stingy with various military aids.And as an island country, Antoria has a proud Royal Navy, which has long been able to successfully prevent Northengard's claws from extending to its sacred land.But this time the war.According to Princess Angeline, Antoria's navy was wiped out by Northengard in the first battle.This is really unbelievable.

Although Gordon and his party are now far away in the endless abyss, it is because of this little princess.So it was also inadvertently related to this war.

"My lord, Northengard's offensive is extremely swift and violent. We, Antoria, have swallowed one bitter fruit after another before we could react. And it is impossible to count on Freyton to provide help in a short period of time. Now, in order to stop the descendants of those evil dragons and reverse the decline in one fell swoop, I need my mysterious gem of wind 'Cang Lan' and the mysterious gem of water 'Grey Frost' in the hands of the white dragon to activate a weapon." An Little Princess Jielin explained to Gordon while playing with her hair.

A mysterious gem has the ability to completely freeze a big city like Se'anzu.If it's two mysterious gems... Gordon can imagine how powerful Antolia's secret weapon that needs two mysterious gems to activate is.

Only the existence of such strategic nuclear weapons can reverse the extremely dangerous situation in Antoria in one fell swoop.

According to Princess Angeline, due to some special reasons, she herself is the natural holder of the mysterious gem of wind.And only she in Antoria can master and use the power of the mysterious gem.That's why the kingdom didn't send other powerful archmages this time, but instead sent her, a noble princess, to the dangerous endless abyss.

Although the journey to the endless abyss looks very dangerous.However, with the powerful guarding force headed by Jinyue swordsmanship master, coupled with the guidance of Antoria's most famous prophecy mage, Essin Saga Zhivine, before they set off, it is actually quite possible to achieve their final goal.

Now, due to some unexpected circumstances, Princess Angeline and her guards are separated.Fortunately, she met Gordon and others, so she still had hope.

"I'm sorry, my lord." The little princess stood up.He bowed to Gordon and saluted.With an apologetic face, "I can't tell you what kind of weapon we Antoria will use to defeat the Northengardians. Because it is the top secret of the country, even I know very little about it. But if If you can get the mystery gemstone of water, then you, as the holder of 'Grey Frost', will definitely tell you everything after you arrive in Antoria."

"I'm also interested in going to Antoria. As for your country's secret weapon, I'm not very curious. Knowing more is not necessarily a good thing." Gordon nodded slightly.

Now that Antoria and Northengard broke out in a violent war, and according to Princess Angeline, the battle was quite tragic, Gordon also had to worry about the safety of Sheriya in Antoria.

However, Gordon is not interested in Antoria's strategic magic weapon that can reverse the occupation in one fell swoop, but he is very interested in the mysterious gem.In particular, how the little princess wants to use his mysterious gem to restrain the white dragon is something he must know.

Princess Angeline didn't hide anything in this matter of life and death.She said: "My lord, the mysterious gem is a supreme treasure left over from the ancient times that cannot be traced back, and it contains many secrets. As a person who was born with a mysterious gem, although I am still young As a child, I can't use most of the power in the mysterious gem, but I still have a deep understanding of the nature of this magical thing—at least, stronger than that stupid dragon."

Angeline continued in a pleasant voice: "Because the mystery gemstones come from the same source, as long as you use it properly, you can use the energy fluctuations generated by one mystery gemstone to suppress the power of another mystery gemstone." .”

"That is to say, Your Royal Highness, can you prevent the white dragon from drawing unlimited energy from the mysterious gem?"

"Yes. If the white dragon can't obtain energy from the mysterious gem, it will no longer be immortal. However, my ability is limited, and I can only suppress the opponent's power for a short period of time. So you may not There will be too much time. Alas, this is all because I didn't listen to the teacher's teachings and neglected to practice arcane arts..."

Princess Angeline said, her complexion gradually sank, and her eyes slowly filled with tears.

Seeing this, Viniya gently held the little girl's hand, and comforted her softly: "Princess, you don't need to blame yourself. No one can guarantee that you will always be safe. What we need to do now is to consider how to Existing conditions to achieve the goal. And my fiancé is just the kind of person who can create unlimited possibilities with limited resources.”

Gordon touched his nose.With a bitter smile, he said, "Vinya, do you have unrealistic expectations of me? I can't guarantee that I can kill that white dragon."

"It's okay. I believe in you." Vinia stood on her tiptoes and made a warm lip print on Gordon's cheek.

Well, even for a girl's kiss, Gordon has to work hard.

He called everyone together and spent a full four hours drawing up the battle plan.Then everyone started to get busy, preparing to give Bailong Amonris a big "surprise" when he came home.

Gordon is going to make a plan after thoroughly understanding the dragon's lair—that is, the underground structure of the entire Tower of Eternity.The time left for him is not enough.But it is not urgent, he can do a lot of things.

A place built for humans is obviously not suitable for a giant dragon.That's why Emmon Reese widened and improved a few places in this underground area where he often moves to suit his body shape.Of course, these projects are just psychological comfort.How can a creature that is in the form of pure energy and can teleport freely in the ice be limited by physical space?From this point, it can also be seen that the mental state of White Dragon Emerys is really problematic, and it seems that he cannot control his own existence.Have a clear understanding.

Except for a few places that were messed up by the white dragon Emmonris, the entire underground area is extremely well preserved, and it can even be said to be intact.Many items powered by arcane energy - such as lamps, heat and warmers.There are also bathing facilities that can function normally.

In addition to not having any food reserves, this is simply the underground base that those doomsday survival fanatics dream of.

and.Gordon also found a very interesting place for a mage.

A huge and sophisticated magic laboratory.

The various magic research equipment here is surprisingly well preserved.Most of them work fine.Perhaps it was because the incident happened suddenly that year, so the mages in the laboratory did not have time to transfer these equipment and research results.After Gordon lifted the magic locks that he had set in haste.From a huge metal box, hundreds of stone slabs neatly stacked together were found.

Gordon had seen the Arkhosian slabs used by the scholars of the Dragonborn Empire to record important information before, so he was no stranger to them.

He randomly picked up a stone slab, caressed its surface, injected a trace of arcane energy, and then activated it, showing row after row of characters.

Gordon glanced at these dragon-born characters, and his eyes immediately radiated a strange brilliance: "That white dragon is indeed a big idiot. He has been sitting on such a huge wealth of knowledge for nearly ten thousand years, but he didn't notice it..."

The research contents recorded on these Akhosian stone tablets are all related to cloning.

Soul transfer and human cloning are important means for the dragon-born mages of Arkhosia to extend their lives and achieve the goal of longevity. There are not many mages who study and hope to continuously improve these two spells.And the former owner of this laboratory is obviously a leader in this research field.

Even from the standpoint of Gordon, a sorcerer ten thousand years later, the knowledge recorded on these slates is still very new and cutting-edge, which has benefited him a lot.

Although there is now a more convenient life-extending method called Eolum Longevity, these research materials on cloning are still of great learning value for Gordon.

Human cloning involves the advanced knowledge of the School of Change and the School of Necromancy. During the process of studying and learning this spell, the mage's own understanding and application ability of these two arcane schools, as well as the essence of life and energy, will have a lot of knowledge. Big improvement.

This knowledge is reflected in the digitization of the system, that is, every time Gordon reads a slate, he can get a full 200 experience points.

You know, even if he kills a powerful glabra now, he can only get more than 50 experience points.With such a generous return, Gordon's mood at this time can be described as "excited".If he finished reading all these slates, he would at least be able to use the specialty of "Material Free for Casting" for quite a long time due to the large amount of experience he gained.Instead of haggling over every penny.

Moreover, according to the system prompts.If he could read all the materials left by these Akhoxia mages, he would not only be able to learn cloning.And you can also get a new arcane feat: advanced transmutation school specialization.This feat increases the effectiveness of transmutation school spells by 20%.For Gordon, who has mastered a series of changing spells such as disintegration, force wall, and Dulac glass transformation, it is definitely a very big improvement.

After preparing the battle plan against the white dragon with the others, Gordon plunged into the laboratory and began to eagerly read the knowledge recorded on the Arkhosian stone tablets.

About five hours later, Jier came to the laboratory and called Gordon, who was immersed in the unique arcane system of the ancient Dragonborn Empire, back to the real world.

"What's the matter? Could it be that the white dragon is back?" Gordon saw that Ji'er, who was on a security mission, suddenly appeared, and thought that something big had happened.

But looking at Jier's relaxed expression, it seemed that everything was normal.

"Bailong didn't come back, but we did have two more guests." The eldest lady said. "Aziz and his sister are here."

"Really?" Gordon raised his eyebrows and put down the slate in his hand.

It seems that the bearded mage was also lucky, taking his sister and successfully escaped the battle between Andre and Emerith.

Although he has found a way to deal with Bailong now, the more helpers he has on his side, the better, so of course he welcomes Aziz's arrival.

Leaving the magic laboratory, Gordon followed Jill to the room where Aziz and his sister were.

"Talk slowly, I'm going to find Vinia. The little princess is not in a good mood because of the war in the motherland. I have to go with Vinia to comfort her."

"I can't see that Miss Ji'er is so understanding."

"Of course." Jier gave Gordon a blank look, "Besides, seeing such a cute little girl frowning all day long, no one can rest assured. Unlike some unscrupulous mage. Except for studying those obscure and boring things all day long." Apart from my arcane knowledge, I like to bully girls."

"Then according to what you want, miss, should I also comfort that little princess?"

"Hmph. Good idea!" Ji'er said with her arms akimbo, "You think I don't know what you're thinking? When you fell into the bath, you must have seen Angeline..."

Gordon shrugged his shoulders: "Even if I took a good look at Her Royal Highness's jade body, I don't have any extra thoughts. I'm not interested in the little girl's body. It's a beautiful girl like you, Ji Er, who is in her youth. It's just to my taste."

"You...what are you talking about..." A layer of redness immediately spread from Jier's ears to the entire fair face, she gave Gordon a hard look, "Laugh a little, what if Aziz hears it?" What to do?" After finishing speaking, the eldest lady glanced over Gordon's shoulder and took a peek at the bearded mage in the room, and was relieved to find that he was talking to her sister.

"I, I ignore you, you go and deal with that turban man yourself."

Once, after winning a bickering with the young lady of the Phoenix family, Gordon walked into the room with a smile on his face.

Aziz also greeted Gordon with a smile when he saw Gordon.

"It can be seen that you are in a good mood, Mage Freeman... Well, your real name is much more pleasing to the ear, and your real body looks much more pleasing to the eye." Aziz said.

He had already learned from Jier about Gordon's concealment of his identity.So after seeing the other party's real body now, I am not surprised.

"You seem to be in a good mood, Master Aziz."

"Of course!" Aziz laughed and stroked his beard, "After my sister and I escaped from the battle between the white dragon and Andre, we entered this Tower of Eternity by accident. The bottom core area, that is, the giant magic circle that can extract water resources from the water elemental plane. Although it has stopped working now, I have benefited a lot and recorded a lot of useful information. I believe that After I return to the desert, it will not take many years before I can create a similar small magic circle."

"Then congratulations." Gordon patted Aziz on the shoulder, "But if you want to use your discoveries to benefit the people of the motherland, you must first find a way to leave here."

Gordon told Aziz about everyone's current situation.The bearded mage said: "You mean, if we want to leave this Tower of Eternity, we must deal with that white dragon?"

"Yes. The power of the mysterious gem. It is impossible to use ordinary methods to fight against it."

"But it seems that you are fully prepared." Aziz's face was still relaxed, "So if there is anything I can do, just ask you to do it."

"Master Aziz, I can trust your strength. With your assistance, I believe the possibility of success has increased a bit."

Gordon told Aziz the battle plan in a few words.The latter nodded, expressing his understanding.

Just after the conversation ended, Aziz suddenly said mysteriously: "Master Freeman, my sister and I walked up from the underground magic circle to this area, and found a very interesting thing on the way, you Are you interested in taking a look?"

Although Gordon didn't have enough time, Aziz was not the kind of boring person who would deliberately drag him to see some useless objects, so he agreed to his request.

Aziz sent his younger sister, Kaya, to say hello to the other girls.Then, with Gordon, go all the way down.

Because in addition to being busy preparing to deal with the white dragon, he also had to spend time studying the slate obtained from the magic laboratory, so Gordon did not completely explore the entire underground area.Aziz took him deep into areas that had not been explored before.

"Kaya and I walked up this ice passage from below. The place I want to take you is just ahead." Aziz pointed to the dark ice cave ahead.

Now the two of them have left the man-made living area and are walking in the completely natural winding cave.The surrounding area was covered with hard and smooth ice, which caused some troubles for the two of them along the way.

But going through these little troubles is totally worth it.Because after Gordon walked into a huge ice cellar under the guidance of Aziz.Just lighting up the darkness with the lighting technique, I was stunned by the scene presented in front of me.

He saw the corpse of a giant dragon.

A white dragon corpse frozen in a huge ice block like a hill.

He glanced at Aziz and said, "Could this be the body of the white dragon Emerys?"

"Very likely. When I saw this corpse for the first time, I thought so too." Aziz nodded.Agree.

In the catastrophe when the energy of the mysterious gem ran amok, the body of the white dragon Emerys died, but his soul merged with the mysterious gem.become a new life form.

Aziz looked at the body of the white dragon in the ice, and said, "It's strange. Emerys seems to have forgotten that his body was sealed here. Didn't he think about getting his body back?"

"The white dragon's mind is not very clear, and he has been thinking about how to become a great evil dragon all day long. But it's a pity. In Se'anzuli, where there are only ice, snow, stones and illusions, Emerith wants to be a villain Neither can."

Gordon walked closer with the help of the magic light, and looked at the dragon's body carefully.

Although the white dragon is the smallest of the five-color dragons, it is still a giant compared to humans. When you observe it closely, you can feel the oppression it emits even through a thick layer of ice. feel.

"Master Freeman, what are you thinking?"

"I was wondering if I could use this body to do something."

"Do you want to dissect this dragon corpse? Indeed, every part of the dragon's body is worth tens of thousands of gold."

"No." Gordon shook his head and said with a smile, "Although those dragon scales and bones and dragon viscera full of energy are indeed very attractive to a mage, but I'm thinking about another thing. I don't like putting all my chips in one place. When dealing with that white dragon, besides pinning my hopes on that little Princess Angeline, I have to have a backup plan, so I can rest assured."

He patted Bailong's body across the ice and said, "This is my backup plan."

"I don't know much about it." Aziz shook his head.Although he thinks he is talented and intelligent, and he is the best mage, but in terms of whimsy, it seems that he has to bow down to this mage Freeman. (To be continued..)
